Fire Alarm System Limitations

While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.

The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.

Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:

• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.

• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.

• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets.

• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.

The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist.

Heat detectors are designed to protect

property, not life.

IMPORTANT!

Smoke detectors must be installed in the

same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power.

cated, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.

Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:

• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.

Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/ or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 7 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.

All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.

This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F condensing) at 30° C/86° F. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27° C/60-80° F.

Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

cal Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.

Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.

Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board location.

Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.

Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit.

Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

Figure 19 DIP Switch Settings

DIP Switch Functions

Switch 1: Alarm Verification - If selected (‘ON’), alarm signals that occur on any zone will be

subjected to a two-minute verification period to determine if the alarm is true. Note that the control panel will distinguish if the alarm signal came from a shorting-type contact device (manual pull station, fourwire detector, or heat detector) or a two-wire smoke detector, and will not employ verification of alarm signals from the contact devices.

Switch 2: Waterflow on Zone 3 - If set for Waterflow (‘ON’), Initiating Device Circuit #3 will function as a waterflow circuit. If an alarm occurs on this zone, the ALARM SILENCE switch will not silence any activated output circuits.

Switch 3: Supervisory on Zone 4 - If set for Supervisory (‘ON’), Initiating Device Circuit #4 will function as a supervisory circuit. Activation of a tamper or other supervisory switch on this circuit will result in a supervisory condition, but not an alarm condition, at the panel. All NACs will activate unless SUPV1 or SUPV2 jumpers are cut (see Table 1 on page 24 for jumper configuration table). The piezo will sound a distinct pulsing tone and the yellow LED on zone 4 will flash along with the supervisory LED.

Switch 4: Silence Inhibit - If selected (‘ON’) and an alarm occurs, the ALARM SILENCE switch will not function until 60 seconds have passed since initiation of the alarm. If another alarm occurs, the timer will restart at 60 seconds.

Switch 5: Disable NACs - When this switch is set ‘ON’, the four Notification Appliance Circuits and the System Alarm Relay will be disabled, and a local trouble signal will be generated.

Switch 6: Walk Test - Setting this switch to the ‘ON’ position places the control panel in Walk Test Mode. The first alarm on the Initiating Circuit under test will ring associated Notification Appliance Circuit(s) for 5 seconds. Zone Alarm LED will flash. The second alarm on Initiating Circuit under test will ring associated Notification Circuit(s) for 1 second. Zone Alarm LED will illuminate steadily. A Trouble condition on the Initiating Circuit under test will sound the control’s piezo and light the Zone Trouble LED.

Tone Silence - Pressing this switch acknowledges alarms, troubles and supervisories. The panel has

alarm and trouble resound with LED flash of new conditions. The flashing trouble LED(s) illuminate steadily and the piezo turns off. A second trouble will resound the piezo. Trouble conditions are selfrestoring. Alarms latch and require pressing SYSTEM RESET to clear. Unless the unit is set for nonlatching supervisory service, supervisories latch and require pressing SYSTEM RESET to clear. The piezo has three tones for different conditions (see "Piezo" on page 35).

Alarm Silence - Pressing this switch acknowledges for alarms and supervisories. This switch will silence the local piezo, change any flashing alarm LEDs to steady, and turn off the notification circuits. The “Alarm Silenced” LED will illuminate. Alarm silence is a latching function and requires pressing SYSTEM RESET to clear.

If Silence Inhibit has been selected (SW1, DIP switch #4 set to “ON”), the Alarm Silence will not function until 60

Note:

seconds after the initiation of the alarm.

Alarm Activate - This switch may be used to activate Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). It also activates the System Alarm Relay. This is a latching function. Pressing ALARM SILENCE silences the NACs and System Alarm Relay, and lights the Alarm Silenced LED. Pressing SYSTEM RESET returns the system to normal.

System Reset - This switch breaks power to all initiating circuits, four-wire smoke detector power and optional boards and will clear any activated output circuits. If any alarm or trouble still exists after reset, they will reactivate the panel. Holding SYSTEM RESET down will perform a LAMP TEST function and will activate the piezo sounder.

Zone Status LEDs

The alarm and/or trouble LED(s) will flash until the event(s) has been acknowledged (TONE or ALARM SILENCE), at which point the LED(s) will illuminate steadily.

Piezo 3. System Operation

Piezo

The piezo (local buzzer) generates different tone patterns for different event conditions:

• Alarm - Generates a steady tone, no pulse.

• Trouble - Pulses one second on, one second off. Repeats 30 pulses per minute.

• Supervisory - Pulses one-half second on, one-half second off. Repeats 60 pulses per minute.

Supervisory Service

Zone 4 is programmable for monitoring supervisory devices (such as valve tamper switches) by setting SW1 DIP switch 3 to “ON” (see "Setting Mode of Operation" on page 31). A short circuit on this zone (activation of a N.O. contact) will cause the supervisory LED and the zone 4 yellow LED to flash. The piezo sounder will generate a unique sound. Pressing TONE SILENCE will silence the piezo and cause the supervisory LED to illuminate steadily, but the Zone 4 Trouble LED will continue to flash. Supervisory signals latch and require SYSTEM RESET to clear. The ALARM SILENCE switch will silence the piezo, cause the supervisory LED to illuminate steadily and turn off the Supervisory Notification Circuit. An open circuit on Zone 4 will be reported as a zone trouble.

The Initiating Device Circuit for sprinkler supervisory zone can be programmed for tracking operation; latching

Note:

operation is the default setting. Canadian regulations require latching operation; for programming instructions, See “Sprinkler Supervisory Tracking” on page 36.

Zone Disable

If a zone has been disabled, an alarm that occurs on that zone will flash the red zone LED, but not the piezo or any output circuit. If both power sources are removed from the system, all zones will be re-enabled upon

restoration of power. Disable status will be lost.

The Zone Disable routine makes use of the four panel switches as follows: I

1. Press and hold in the TONE SILENCE switch.

2. With the TONE SILENCE switch held in, press

3. The Zone 1 Alarm LED will flash.

4. To disable Zone 1, press the SYSTEM RESET switch. The Zone 1 yellow LED will light to show

Note:

5. To select the next zone, press the ALARM SILENCE switch.

6. To select the previous zone, press the ALARM ACTIVATE switch.

System Events

Standby Condition

Green LED (AC power on) will be illuminated. All other LEDs (trouble and alarm) are off.

System Trouble Condition

Interruption of any of the electrically supervised circuits will illuminate the System Trouble LED. The Trouble Relay Contacts will transfer. The piezo (local buzzer) will sound one second on, one second off, and repeating until silenced. Silence the piezo by pressing the TONE SILENCE switch. The panel will remain in the trouble state until the trouble condition has been cleared and the panel reset.

Alarm Condition

Upon activation of an initiating device, a red alarm LED will illuminate for that zone. In add ition, the Alarm Relay will activate, the piezo will sound, and Notification Appliance Circuit(s) will activate. (See “Output Circuits” on page 22 for details).

MS-4424 Instruction Manual PN 15153:G1 10/22/02

Page 37

System Events 3. System Operation

Brownout Condition

The total power being provided to the system’s power supply should not exceed the current draw during fully loaded panel operation. Brownout circuitry annunciates degradation of the incoming AC voltage supply. A brownout condition is annunciated when the AC power decreases. When the brownout threshold is reached, the system reacts as if AC power is totally lost:

• Battery backup begins supplying power to operate the control panel

• General Trouble Relay contact transfers

• Green AC Power LED turns off

• Yellow System Trouble LED illuminates

• The piezo will sound one second on, one second off, and repeat until the Trouble is cleared.

When the AC voltage returns or increases above the brownout threshold, the green AC Power LED will illuminate. The power supply circuitry will return to primary power functions and begin to recharge the backup battery supply.

Limited Warranty

The manufacturer warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for eighteen (18) months from the date of manufacture, under normal use and service. Products are date-stamped at time of manufacture. The sole and exclusive obligation of the manufacturer is to repair or replace, at its option, free of charge for parts and labor, any part which is defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. For products not under the manufacturer's date-stamp control, the warranty is eighteen (18) months from date of original purchase by the manufacturer's distributor unless the installation instructions or catalog sets forth a shorter period, in which case the shorter period shall apply. This warranty is void if the product is altered, repaired, or serviced by anyone other than the manufacturer or its authorized distributors, or if there is a failure to maintain the products and systems in which they operate in a proper and workable manner. In case of defect, secure a Return Material Authorization form from our customer service department. Return product, transportation prepaid, to the manufacturer.

This writing constitutes the only warranty made by this manufacturer with respect to its products. The manufacturer does not represent that its products will prevent any loss by fire or otherwise, or that its products will in all cases provide the protection for which they are installed or intended. Buyer acknowledges that the manufacturer is not an insurer and assumes no risk for loss or damages or the cost of any inconvenience, transportation, damage, misuse, abuse, accident, or similar incident.

THE MANUFACTURER GIVES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE MANUFACTURER'S PRODUCTS. FURTHERMORE, THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH WHICH MAY ARISE IN THE COURSE OF, OR AS A RESULT OF, PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR INDUSTRIAL USE OF ITS PRODUCTS.

This warranty replaces all previous warranties and is the only warranty made by the manufacturer. No increase or alteration, written or verbal, of the obligation of this warranty is authorized.
